Mr. Ruan commented on Sanniang's poetry, saying it was "acceptable". She had always been careless about this matter and just liked to have fun, so the master didn't expect much from her.

Then, he rewarded Ruan Yuxi with a complete set of writing brushes, ink, paper and inkstone obtained from Huizhou, and let them go back.

Along the way, Ruan Yuxi had a bright smile on her face. She waved the round fan with her fingertips and laughed softly.

"Third sister and fifth sister, if you have any questions about poetry, you can come and ask me. We are sisters, so don't be polite."

Nguyen Ngoc Phuc couldn't stand her frivolous look, so he pulled Nguyen Ngoc Luan a few steps forward. He could still hear Nguyen Ngoc Hee's sneer behind him.

Only when they were alone did Sanniang stop and glanced at the girl who had been silent. She thought she was feeling upset and whispered to her to comfort her.

"Don't pay attention to her, she's just that frivolous!"

Ruan Yuluan came back to her senses and smiled warmly at her: "Okay."

After dinner in the evening, the girl took advantage of the darkness and went to a side room at the back door with Qiu Xiu holding a lantern.

Gently pushing open the wooden door, I saw a woman sitting inside, dressed in a gray-green silk shirt, dressed simply. It was Aunt Lou.

Ruan Yuluan stepped forward and gently called "Auntie". The two sat down at the table. Half a month ago, she received a letter from Auntie Lou, saying that they had also come to the capital to do business, opening a tea and pastry shop, with good quality and low prices, and it was considered to be successful.

The girl came here to ask about something that Aunt Lou had asked her to find out before.

"I sent someone to inquire about it..." Aunt Lou whispered, "I heard that recently, Mr. Ruan had private contact with Duke Xu's Mansion and Prince Fushan's Mansion... and had dinner together."

As for what they talked about behind closed doors... Aunt Lou had no way of finding out.

King of Fushan.

Hearing the name again, Ruan Yuluan felt a little dazed, and her heart seemed to be tightened by an invisible hand, making it difficult for her to breathe.

Everything in the previous life... seemed to be still vivid in my mind, leaving me covered in scars.

She felt her breathing quicken, and knew that Master Ruan was preparing for the marriage, so she took a deep breath.

The woman stretched out her fingertips and untied a bundle wrapped in gray cloth, revealing a double-layer food box inside. She opened the lid of the box, and the girl lowered her eyelashes, and saw several exquisitely shaped cakes and a porcelain jar of tea inside.

"These are the cakes that the shop sells every day... I thought you had never eaten them, so I brought them here for you to try."

The relationship between relatives is blood-related and deep, and it is difficult to give up. The girl couldn't help but moisten her eyes. Seeing that it was not valuable, she gently responded and took the bundle.

"Take care of yourself, aunt."

Aunt Lou nodded with tears in her eyes and watched her turn and leave.

After returning to Ziweizhai, the girl opened the double-layer food box, only to see an envelope of silver wrapped in red paper on the bottom layer, which was quite heavy.

Although the amount of money didn't seem much, it was twice what she had given to Aunt Lou last time. She couldn't help but sigh softly, feeling happy for their prosperous business but also worried about her own unattainable future.

The Spring Equinox would come in a few days, and the weather in the capital was fine. Several families sent invitations to Ji, inviting her to a banquet.

This was the first time she went out to attend a banquet after coming to the capital, so she couldn't be careless. After careful selection, Ji finally decided to go to the spring flower viewing banquet at the Duke of Xuan's mansion three days later.

The Duke Xuan's Mansion is one of the most important families among the wealthy and powerful in the capital, and it is of great importance. This is enough.

When the lady talked about this with a few others, she also specially mentioned Sixth Lady with a smile.

"Do you still remember, Luan Niang?" Ji said, "It was the Duke Xuan's Mansion that you, your third sister, and your sixth sister visited when you were in Meizhou."

For some reason, a pair of peach blossom eyes with a clear blue color appeared in front of the girl's eyes.
